As it is asking you to press F1 to continue it is something in the BIOS -
this is before the system boots - you only get to safe mode if the pc has
booted.
It could be that the battery is low, it should have reported something was
amiss.
The only way to truly concur it is not the battery is to keep pressing F1
every time you start your pc, or at such a low cost it might be worth
changing the battery anyway.
There are many reasons this could be happening, such as dirty contacts on
connections within the pc, drive cables, power cables etc. The batter is
the
lowest level which can be controlled by the simple change of the battery.
Until this has been taken out of the equation is hard to say exactly what
the problem could be and you just have to rule things out as you go along.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Sudden Loss of Sound
Hi listers. My Dell workstation running XP Pro and JAWS 9 was working
fine last evening, and I stepped away to have my dinner. When I returned
to the computer, I had lost all sound including JAWS and Windows sounds.
Since I wasn't working on the computer at the time, I could not
understand
why I would suddenly lose all sound for nlo apparent reason. I shut down
and then rebooted using the power button, but still no sound. Finally, I
had a sighted neighbor watch the monitor to see what was going on. He
said that after I rebooted , a message appeared onscreen that said
something like press F1 to continue. So he pressed F1, and the computer
proceeded to start up with the Windows log on jingle and finally, the
"JAWS is ready" announcement and everything was apparently restored to
normal. This has happened a couple of times before. What could cause
such a sudden loss of all sound? Thanks for any feedback.
Gerald
